Two Dozen Cops Ambushed and killed by the Demonstrators on the Sinai Strech
Sinai has seen almost daily militant attacks in recent weeks, including this car bomb in El Arish in July
Usually you get protesters running and laying on the street after getting shot by the police in Egypt. What is unusual about this piece of news coming from the BBC is that it shows the police being killed. Also missing from these pictures and reports is the type of bombs, submachine guns and other weapons being used by the demonstrators towards the police or what they think is undercover police. Also the rapes being carry out by the so called demonstrators against women be press or anyone on the street. A place for the women is in the home and if they are caught alone anywhere they will be violated or kill or both.
At least 24 Egyptian policemen have been killed in an ambush attack in the Sinai peninsula.
Medical sources and officials said the police were in two buses which came under attack from armed men close to the town of Rafah on the Gaza border.
Three policemen were also reported to have been injured in the blast.
The military recently intensified a crackdown against militants in Sinai, where attacks have surged since the fall of Hosni Mubarak in 2011.
Egyptian deployments in the peninsula are subject to the 1979 peace treaty between Israel and Egypt.
There were conflicting reports about how Monday's attack unfolded.
Security sources quoted by the Associated Press news agency say four armed men stopped the buses and forced the police to get out before shooting them.
But other reports spoke of rocket-propelled grenades being fired at the buses.
